23h 42min, oct 28, 2003 y - A new law comes into force protecting LGBT people from discrimination at work.
Description:
Until 2003 employers could discriminate against LGBT people by not hiring them or not promoting them, just because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. LGBT people didn’t have much protection from bullying and sometimes they weren’t offered the same benefits as other colleagues, or were unfairly affected by rules at work. The Employment Equality Regulations made all these kinds of discrimination illegal.Added to timeline:
